  1. 31K on the clock now. I've had 50.1mpg on my commute, but when the weather was nicer. I'm getting 44mpg on the drive in at the moment.
  2. Me too, but it always end up back at blue!
  3. So this happened after my 50 ish mile trip into work today...
  4. Don't the new carS also come with the GPF ?
  5. REAL 245DSG, 67 reg. 20,000 miles. Long term trip says 38 mpg but I’m getting 43-45 mpg on my daily 100 mile commute on the A19 into York. I’ve had upto 49 mpg a couple of times. Should also mention - I’m running 235/35R19 PS4S all round which I’m pretty sure are a little less eco than factory tyres
  6. Currently averaging around 44mpg on daily commute. Trip says I can make 530 on a tank. I don't trash the right pedal. The roads are free-flowing and slightly hilly. When I climb, I drop a couple mpg quite easily. Coasting in eco usually pulls it back up. It's all about driving style and the roads. If you've got a decent downhill for 2 miles, and then a gentle uphill for 10 miles, of course your figures are going to look good. Doesn't mean they're any less legit
  7. Nice! Hmmmm. Wonder what they’d look like if the former diamond-cut bits were picked out in gloss black...? Effectively inverting the factory look?
  8. Sorry.... Not resetting your trip after a fill-up is causing me anxiety...
  9. Also forgot to say - tyres also seem to have a much higher impact than I'd first thought. Got Michelin PS4S all round now and there's a noticeable drop in mpg since moving to them. Presume it's mainly because they're grippier tyres in seasonal conditions than the OEM Pirellis....
  10. I agree. On a decent tank, computer shows I could get 510 miles to a tank. But fun and heavy right foot usually puts paid to that. Couple of sets of temporary traffic lights on my usual route don't help either. Stop-go traffic has a huge impact.
